The new facility, with annual and monthly detail.
Optional combined schedule assumes all retained secured balances form one fixed-rate, monthly-rest, fully amortising facility. If your loans differ, use the incremental view and the actual retained instalment in the affordability check. These assumptions do not override that entered instalment.
Fees are disclosed once in period 1 and are already accounted for by their chosen treatment. Do not add the fee column to loan instalments. Displayed rows are rounded; calculations use unrounded values.

Compare your property financing options
Save up to three scenarios, then compare the cash received and the full cost of borrowing.
A higher cash-out amount may also mean higher borrowing costs and increased risk to the property used as collateral.
Change the inputs above, then save another scenario. Each saved card keeps its property, borrower and regulatory assumptions. Restore a card to edit it, then replace it. Scenarios are held only in this tab.
Check your repayment capacity
Optional screening. Collateral capacity and repayment capacity are separate checks.
What happens if your property value changes?
Stress-test the equity buffer after the proposed borrowing.
The contractual principal stays unchanged. A lower valuation may limit future borrowing; any top-up requirement depends on the agreement.
How CPF may affect property equity cash-out
CPF used for eligible housing brings obligations and a charge on the property. The relevant residential MWL limit accounts for CPF monies, while the calculator records principal and accrued interest separately.
The default example uses principal of S$150,000 as the LTV adjustment. That is an illustration, not a determination of your transaction. Choose principal plus accrued interest or a confirmed custom amount if appropriate. CPF already used is not immediately withdrawable cash.
Selling or transferring a property generally involves a CPF refund under CPF rules. Equity withdrawal does not automatically mean the same settlement process. The lender and conveyancing lawyer must confirm the amount counted, charge priority and any actual cash settlement.

A fictional condominium valued at S$1,200,000, with a S$400,000 mortgage, a S$150,000 CPF LTV adjustment and no other residential housing loan:
Less S$8,000 of deducted fees = S$342,000 net cash.
Full refinancing produces a new gross facility of S$750,000: S$400,000 replaces the existing mortgage and S$350,000 is additional funding. At an illustrative 5.00% nominal annual rate for 20 years, the new monthly instalment is approximately S$4,949.67.
Combined debt is 62.5% of the property value, so the specific 50%-or-below MWL TDSR exemption cannot be presumed. This is a simplified illustration, not a lender-approved amount or a confirmed conveyancing settlement statement. Loading it replaces current calculator inputs; saved comparisons are retained.
Understand the financing behind the number.
What Is Property Equity Cash-Out in Singapore?
Property equity cash-out is borrowing secured by a property you already own. A mortgage equity withdrawal loan, sometimes called a home equity loan or equity term loan, converts part of the property’s financing capacity into funding. You retain ownership, but the property remains security for repayment. Gross equity is the value left after secured debt; it is not a promise that a lender will advance that amount.
How Does a Property Equity Cash-Out Calculator Work?
Start with a current market-value estimate, subtract secured balances and apply the financing assumptions. The calculator then separates the new loan principal, debt redemption, cash-out component, fees and repayments. Change one input at a time to see which constraint matters. A valuation of S$1.2 million does not mean S$1.2 million is available to borrow.
How Much Cash Can You Unlock From Your Property?
The result depends on the lender’s valuation, permitted secured exposure, CPF treatment where relevant and existing security arrangements. Your income, financial records and repayment obligations can reduce the amount a lender is willing to offer. The maximum displayed here is a collateral-based estimate. It is not automatically reduced to a lender-approved affordability limit.
Understanding Loan-to-Value Limits in Singapore
For the applicable individual or shell-company residential MWL case, this preview uses 75% without another residential housing loan and 45% with one or more. Non-residential and genuine corporate cases need separate treatment. For those cases, the editable LTV is your assumption, not a statutory entitlement. See the dated regulatory references below.
Can CPF Affect Your Cash-Out Amount?
Keep the principal used for housing, accrued interest and any transaction-specific settlement separate. This model shows its CPF LTV adjustment explicitly. A lower borrowing ceiling is different from a cash refund at completion. Ask the lender and conveyancing lawyer to confirm the amount and charge priority for the proposed transaction.
Does TDSR Apply to Property Equity Withdrawal?
TDSR checks total monthly debt against recognised gross monthly income. The general threshold is 55%. A qualifying residential MWL may meet a separate exemption test when total loans secured on the property are at most half its current value. An exemption does not remove credit assessment. The optional screening tool shows its income and assessment-rate assumptions.
Cash-Out Refinancing vs Additional Property-Backed Financing
Full refinancing replaces the selected existing secured balances with a new facility. The new instalment therefore relates to the whole replacement loan. A top-up leaves existing debt in place and adds another repayment. Compare redemption penalties, remaining fixed-rate periods, security consent and the total monthly burden before choosing a structure.
Residential vs Commercial Property Equity Financing
Commercial and industrial property-backed financing requires attention to property use, remaining lease, occupancy, valuation and business cash flow. An individual borrower and an operating company can face different assessment frameworks even when they use the same property as collateral. Do not copy a residential loan limit into a commercial proposal.
Bank Financing vs Private Property-Backed Financing
Compare written terms rather than lender labels. Look at the rate calculation, maturity, security ranking, covenants, fees and exit plan. Alternative financing may have a different structure, but selecting it does not establish a regulatory exemption. Ask who the lender is, what legal framework applies and what happens if refinancing at maturity is unavailable.
How Much Does Property Equity Cash-Out Cost?
Interest is only one part of the cost. Legal work, valuation, arrangement fees, existing-loan redemption charges and applicable mortgage duty can change the usable proceeds. A lender reserve is separately shown because it may be recoverable. Compare effective borrowing cost and total cost alongside the first monthly payment.
What Are the Risks of Using Your Property as Collateral?
Repayments continue even when business revenue falls. A floating rate can rise, a lower property valuation can reduce refinancing choices, and an interest-only facility can leave a large principal payment at maturity. Default can lead to enforcement against the property. Stress-test your cash flow and plan how any balloon will be repaid before committing.
When Might Property Equity Financing Make Sense for Business Owners?
Possible uses include equipment with a measurable payback, working capital against reliable receipts, or an expansion supported by realistic demand. Compare the expected return and timing with the full financing cost. Borrowing against a home to cover recurring operating losses can concentrate business and household risk. Consider a smaller facility or other funding sources too.
What Documents May Be Required?
Prepare ownership records, a recent valuation if available, mortgage and other secured-loan statements, CPF housing information where relevant, and existing facility terms. Individuals may need income evidence and debt statements. Companies may need financial statements, bank statements, ownership records and cash-flow forecasts. The final checklist depends on the lender and structure.

Property equity cash-out FAQs
What is a property equity cash-out loan in Singapore?
It is a loan secured against an existing property, with part of the financing released for your use. It adds a repayment obligation and gives the lender security over the property. The amount depends on valuation, existing commitments, applicable rules and credit assessment.
How much equity can I withdraw from my private property?
There is no single amount for every owner. Use the current valuation and applicable LTV, then account for secured balances, the relevant CPF adjustment and financing costs. The calculator’s result is indicative; a lender may offer less.
How do I calculate my property's available equity?
Gross property equity is current value minus outstanding loans secured on the property. Accessible financing is a separate calculation constrained by LTV, CPF treatment and credit capacity. Do not treat the whole gross-equity figure as cash available.
What is the maximum LTV for mortgage equity withdrawal in Singapore?
For the individual or shell-company residential MWL case covered here, the cap is 75% without an outstanding housing loan for another residential property, or 45% if there is one or more. These limits include the relevant same-property loans and CPF monies. Other structures require separate assessment.
Does CPF usage affect the amount of cash I can withdraw?
It can reduce financing capacity in the applicable residential MWL assessment. CPF principal and accrued interest are separately recorded here. Confirm the treatment with your lender and lawyer; this preview does not automatically impose a property-sale refund on a refinancing transaction.
Can I take a cash-out loan if my existing mortgage is not fully paid?
Potentially. Full refinancing can settle an existing loan and include additional funding. A top-up retains the existing loan and requires suitable security arrangements. Your current loan terms, lender consent and available headroom matter.
Can I use an HDB flat for equity cash-out financing?
This calculator does not support mortgage equity withdrawal against HDB flats. It will not produce a cash-out estimate for an HDB selection.
Can I use an Executive Condominium for a cash-out loan?
An EC still within its minimum occupation period cannot be used for the residential MWL model described here. After that period, applicable restrictions and lender requirements still need to be checked. The calculator requires an explicit confirmation before showing an estimate.
Does TDSR apply to property equity cash-out loans?
It generally applies to relevant individual property-backed borrowing, including non-residential property. A qualifying residential MWL can fall within the separate 50%-or-below secured-debt exemption. Corporate and other arrangements require their own treatment; passing a screening ratio is not approval.
Can self-employed individuals apply for equity withdrawal financing?
They can seek an assessment, but income evidence and its stability matter. Prepare tax statements, business records and bank statements. The lender decides what income it recognises and which adjustments and supporting documents are required.
Can companies obtain financing secured by commercial property?
Potentially, subject to ownership, security and lender requirements. A genuine operating company is assessed using corporate credit criteria. A shell company is not automatically treated like an operating business simply because it is incorporated.
What is the difference between bank and private equity financing?
Terms, underwriting, lender status and legal structures can differ. Compare the repayment method, total cost, maturity and default provisions in writing. “Private” is not a blanket exemption from regulation, income checks or security requirements.
What fees are involved in property equity cash-out?
Possible costs include legal, valuation, arrangement, redemption, discharge and documentation charges, plus mortgage duty where payable. Enter each fee once and choose whether it is deducted, paid separately or financed. The defaults are demonstration amounts, not a quotation.
Can I use property equity financing for business expansion or working capital?
This can be a proposed funding purpose, subject to lender terms and suitability. Match repayment dates to dependable cash flow and compare the expected business benefit with total cost and the property risk. A funding purpose does not itself establish eligibility.
What happens if I cannot repay my property-backed loan?
The consequences depend on the agreement and applicable law, and may include charges, enforcement and loss of the secured property. Contact the lender early if you expect difficulty. Do not rely on an unconfirmed future refinance to repay a balloon.

Calculation methodology & official references
Regulatory configuration: SG-MWL-2026-11-04. Official pages reviewed 4 November 2026. Rates and fees are illustrative inputs. This calculator does not automatically monitor rule changes. Recheck the references before relying on the result. A review reminder appears after 4 February 2027.
Gross equity = valuation − secured balances. Financing capacity applies the selected LTV, relevant secured balances and the stated CPF adjustment. Full refinancing redeems those balances once; a top-up retains them. Financed fees use part of capacity. Net proceeds deduct fees payable from proceeds, reserves and separately entered settlement amounts.
Monthly-rest amortisation uses M = P × r / [1 − (1 + r)−n], or P / n at zero interest. Flat interest uses the original principal for the full term. Interest-only balances remain due until maturity; a hybrid amortises over the remaining months. This is a fixed-rate monthly model; daily accrual, irregular dates, stepped rates and partial drawdowns need a separate model.
Effective borrowing cost uses monthly cash flows and annualises the solved monthly IRR as (1 + IRR)12 − 1. It includes selected financing fees and the modelled reserve timing. In refinancing, debt redeemed is part of the economic benefit of the whole new facility. Settlement transfers are not automatically borrowing costs. A reserve with unknown release timing or non-conventional cash flows can prevent a reliable EIR. No early payoff or future repricing is assumed.
For standard amortisation, the optional TDSR screen uses the applicable assessment-rate floor and entered thereafter rate. For flat-rate, interest-only or hybrid products, a lender-confirmed assessed monthly obligation is needed. Eligible asset-based income and other special concessions are not modelled. Existing monthly debt should exclude balances redeemed by the new facility.
